proper body alignment tomorrow in my PT session.) &nbsp;Looking forward to it!<br /><br />It's been sooo long since I swam with the sun out that I totally had to adjust many times while on my back. &nbsp;While kicking, the lane lines and I had several disagreements as I had to close my eyes due to the shiny, bright, blinding *sun,* &nbsp;In the mornings, <i>while still dark,</i> it is a <b>totally</b> different experience! &nbsp;Today, they had the aerator things on (you can see them on the right side of picture above) that sprinkle over the surface of the pool to help keep it cool

on Sunday evening, I chose to take another day off swimming (I usually swim M, W, F or some combination of those days). &nbsp;P.S. &nbsp;I had also decided prior to <i>this</i> decision, that I would <u>go</u> to practice and just do kick sets. &nbsp;I <i><b>finally</b></i> came to the realization that I would be better off in the long run to see the physical therapist prior to entrance back into the pool. &nbsp;You know, get the go ahead and not be stubborn....<i>anyone ever wrestled themselves with this question?!?!! &nbsp;SOOOO....this is how I spent my morning before work......</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I met my dear friend Nancy for our weekly fellowship. &nbsp;We finished up making earrings for the rest of the folks at my clinic. &nbsp;Earrings are so fun and just show so much personality. &nbsp;It is a JOY to do crafts with Nancy and chat about just about anything and everything! &nbsp;She is such an inspiration to all who have the pleasure of meeting her!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From Nancy's, I headed to meet my new physical therapist. &nbsp;The one with 25+ years of experience. &nbsp;First, I called to be sure I knew where I was going, but I had the wrong name of the place. &nbsp;After several phone calls including one to the ortho doctor who recommended this place, I finally got her number and arrived and my destination early! &nbsp;This is literally so close to my house, I could walk! &nbsp;....this mini-confusion was a bit stressful, but once I arrived....I was wowed!<br /><br />The moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiles, happiness, and joy! &nbsp;Later, I learned that Mrs. practices PT with her husband. &nbsp;Their daughter has a spa at the same location which has tons of different services. &nbsp;It's the whole package for healing! &nbsp;So awesome!<br /><br />They spent over 2 hours with me for my initial evaluation. &nbsp;She took me into a room and listened to my concerns and did a physical exam. &nbsp;Immediately she identified my scoliosis and started working from there on her treatment plan for me. &nbsp;She is the first person to <i>ever</i>&nbsp;treat my WHOLE body and not just the symptomatic body part. &nbsp;Several of the small things that I have going on, we discussed and she explained scientifically the how and why they were happening. &nbsp;The best part is when she told me that we would correct them.<br /><br />She then sent me out into the "gym." &nbsp;This had such a cool feel. &nbsp;I stepped into the "gym" just in awe. &nbsp;It was full of joyful patients and equipment that looked like it was from the olden days. &nbsp;See photo below that I borrowed off of their website. &nbsp;(Stonebridge Physical Therapy&nbsp;<a href="http://www.stonebridgephysicaltherapy.com/SPT/Physical_Therapy.html">http://www.stonebridgephysicaltherapy.com/SPT/Physical_Therapy.html</a>). &nbsp;I have never seen anything like this.

taught me the first 5 important parts of pilates including breathing and posture. &nbsp;It was soooo much information. &nbsp;He worked through it all with me step - by - step. &nbsp;While I was learning, we were talking about Moses and the Bible. &nbsp;After the pilates session, they hooked my shoulder up to electrode thingys and put an ice pack over the top. &nbsp;I sat there while it did it's work and talked to Mr. about diet and food and being as clean as possible. &nbsp;So <b>much</b>&nbsp;was packed into this 2 hours, that I am just thankful, so very thankful and very hopeful for a full body recovery!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I stayed so long at PT, I had to hurry home to change, eat, and head to work for the afternoon shift. &nbsp;I made it just in

down to Grapevine so that I didn't have to worry about traffic after a long day at work. &nbsp;Also, so that I didn't have to drive after dark. &nbsp;He knows how tired I get at night.<br /><br />He

purchase to surprise his Aunt Tiny. &nbsp;(She really enjoys these donuts and has a hard time finding them. &nbsp;Heath is always so good at surprises and remembering people's preferences.) &nbsp;Usually, I would probably stay in the car, but Heath suggested I go in with him this morning. &nbsp;Much to my surprise, I quickly learned on days their "Hot Now" sign is illuminated out front, go on in for a fresh, hot <i>FREE&nbsp;</i>doughnut&nbsp;right off the line! &nbsp;What a neat tradition they have to share the joy!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We took the fresh doughnuts over to Bill's house and ate them on their beautiful veranda as the waterfalls splashed in the the background. &nbsp;It was lovely, sitting with Tiny and Barb just chatting. &nbsp;Shortly after our nice visit, it was time to head to Justin, Texas. &nbsp;TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY. &nbsp;Last July for Heath's birthday, my mom, his mom, and I all went together to get him a race car driving package through Team Texas (<a href="http://www.teamtexas.com/">www.teamtexas.com/</a>). &nbsp;His dad and brother had both done it and thought he would really enjoy it.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td

style="text-align: center;">This is posted on our bathroom mirror!**</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">After my shoulder popped last Saturday at work, so I did some research and found a new orthopedic doctor. &nbsp;Our Friday morning started with Dr. Nickson and team at Next Step Orthopedics &nbsp;(Sport Medicine) (<a href="http://www.nextsteportho.net/">http://www.nextsteportho.net/</a>). &nbsp;Dr. Nickson and his nurse were awesome and I would recommend to anyone! &nbsp;He reviewed my previous MRI, took shoulder x-rays, and scoliosis x-rays. &nbsp;I am so happy he took the scoliosis x-rays because I haven't had that done in a while to see if my curve has progressed. &nbsp;He definitely could see the curve causing some of my shoulder pain. &nbsp;It is at 25* currently and he said that it can progress to up to 1* per year. &nbsp;When I told Mom the curvature, she was happy and said that it hasn't changed much....I don't remember what it was after I got out of wearing my back brace in high school.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Outcome</u>:</b> &nbsp;Dr. Nickson said that I have pain in the front of the shoulder because of tendonitis of my bicep where it connects to my shoulder and pain in the back of the shoulder due to weakness of muscles around my scapula from scoliosis. &nbsp;He gave a cortisone shot to bathe the tendon to get reduction of inflammation and hopefully some pain relief. &nbsp;He also set me up with a physical therapist who he said if anyone can fix it, she can with her 25 years of experience. &nbsp;Followup with him in 1 month. &nbsp;Good news, I start PT on Monday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Next Step</u>: </b>&nbsp;pulling out of Buffalo Springs Ironman 70.3 on Sunday June 25th. &nbsp;We are blessed to have searched and found another willing soul to swim the 1.2 miles, wet suit legal, leg of our 70.3 in Lubbock next weekend. &nbsp;Today, I got final word from the race director that I had been officially removed from the team and he has been added! &nbsp;This was a blessing, a tough but easy call. &nbsp;It's hard to let go of a goal, but I have learned that listening to my body is <i>most</i> important. &nbsp;Longevity of that shoulder is what I'm after, not just one more race to put in the books. &nbsp;If I have longevity, there will be many more races throughout my lifetime, Lord willing. &nbsp;:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">What was awesome about this appointment this morning is that Heath was able to attend with me. &nbsp;This meant the absolute world to me. &nbsp;There is always so much information given at these types of appointments and honestly, he can describe the diagnosis better than I can.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">After the appointment, I got to be with him all day on his jobsites because I had the day off! &nbsp;God is good! &nbsp;He knew that I needed that added support after pulling out of that relay so he gave me blessed, valued <i>time</i>&nbsp;with my hubby. &nbsp;Instead of sitting around all next weekend wondering how my team is doing, Heath planned a weekend getaway for us. &nbsp;I'm excited now for next weekend and not as bummed about pulling from race.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">God's plan is always the best!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">**So the above is a picture of our bathroom mirror. &nbsp;The top yellow sticky note is a love note from my husband that I found one day in my gym bag. &nbsp;The next picture is a picture of my dog Briggs with the word <i>Chairein</i>. &nbsp;This is the greek word meaning "consider it pure joy." &nbsp;This is part of a very influential Bible study I did back in Nebraska on James. &nbsp;<b>James 1:2-4</b> <i style="font-weight: bold;">"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. &nbsp;Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." &nbsp;</i>Attached with Briggs just loving life and smiling. &nbsp;Just like I need to remember all the time, God's got this! &nbsp;Then, a<span style="text-align: justify;">s soon as I was asked to swim in the 70.3 relay, I started looking at the course and praying about it. &nbsp;I posted the course and reminded myself to keep my eyes focused on the Lord and not my own strength.</span></div><div

work this afternoon, I stopped by the Bonnie Wenk Dog Park and took myself for a lovely walk along several trails (concrete, but still surrounded by big trees). &nbsp;It was nice and hot. &nbsp;I started out walking, but then had the strong urge to run. &nbsp;Soon, I realized that the shoulder still plays a very important role in running. &nbsp;Due to limitations, I would run short intervals which worked as my interval training. &nbsp;Whenever my heart rate would drop below 100 bpm, I would settle into a little run, then walk again until my heart rate dropped to around that 100 bpm range and then run again. &nbsp;It was fun and it took care of my need to run for the moment. &nbsp;You get to see more trail that way much faster. &nbsp;:)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear:

visited a farmer's market after my walk! &nbsp;This is one I'd been wanting to experience for a long time, so I stopped! &nbsp;This farmer's market is located in &nbsp;the beautiful Adriatica area. &nbsp;I purchased some fresh, locally grown, perfectly imperfect kale, arugula, peaches, and asparagus. &nbsp;The arugula had been attached by some beetle and the peaches had little dimples in them. &nbsp;Embrace the imperfections of nature in it's natural form. &nbsp;YUMMY! &nbsp;I look forward to creating something fun with these &nbsp;stunning ingredients!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Heath was home when I got home, so that was an awesome surprise. &nbsp;We didn't have any oblications, so both had the opportunity to relax. &nbsp;(I worked on our new scrapbook.) &nbsp;I had NO idea what time it was, but I was getting hungry so I made us some nachos. &nbsp;After we were finished, I asked Heath, "So what do you want for supper?" &nbsp;He laughed and just shook his head. &nbsp;<i>I eat ALL the time! &nbsp;</i>Apparently, this was supper since it was 6:30 pm. &nbsp;I happily went back to scrapbooking after we ate.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Suddenly, I got up from the table and walked into the bedroom. &nbsp;I came back out wearing my bike clothes. &nbsp;I sort of surprised myself as well as Heath. &nbsp;He was very curious as to what I was doing until I informed him that I was getting antsy and need to go for a bike. &nbsp;It was getting dark, so it would be on trainer, of course. &nbsp;He addressed this thought with a better idea, something easier on the shoulder....<i>"How about a walk instead?"</i>&nbsp; he offered.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I knew he was probably right, so I went ahead and changed clothes again. &nbsp;I quickly texted Raquel to see if she was up for a quick night run (no sunlight, a bit cooler). &nbsp;(Run/walk, same thing right?!) &nbsp;She wasn't able to run, but said I could swing by. &nbsp;She lives about 1.5 miles from me, so I headed that direction after putting on my reflective vest, blue blinking light, and filling my water bottle.<br /><br /></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4cfSq4Vc8K8/WUSWCLW823I/AAAAAAAAJr8/NmeRWtj42SU1otdJz5GLnRWJYw-4LIJ5wCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_0774.JPG" imageanchor="1"

and say&nbsp;<i>hi</i>&nbsp;and head back to Heath. &nbsp;Upon arrival, she invited me in and &nbsp;soon her son told me all about his most recent visit to Cooper Aerobic Center and about riding bikes with a stellar athlete/friend while his mom worked out. &nbsp;Raquel and Gilbert set the best example for their kids,&nbsp;<u>teaching them and showing them</u>&nbsp;the importance of actively seeking to be healthy!<br /><br />Heath and I had agreed that I didn't have to take my phone since I was just going for a short run. When I left Raquel's, I asked her text my phone so that Heath would know I was on my way home.&nbsp;<i><b>&nbsp;Somehow, all my adventures this week have turned into social ones.</b></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;I learned my lesson tonight = c-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-i-o-n. &nbsp;Also, when going for a run by myself at night, take phone and tell my husband when I will be stopping by a friend's house....that way he can assume that I *accidentally* started talking&nbsp;<i>again</i>&nbsp;instead of getting worried or sending out a search team! &nbsp;<u>Lesson learned</u>. &nbsp;Let's just say that I am a slow learner and I have a very patient husband! &nbsp;I am blessed!</div>Kinsey Leenoreply@blogger.com0McKinney, TX, USA33.1972465 -96.63978220000001332.984697499999996 -96.962505700000008 33.4097955 -96.317058700000018tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882138841906982810.post-37860670318143924782017-06-15T15:51:00.005-06:002017-06-15T15:53:05.205-06:00Fun * Fellowship * Friends<div style="text-align: justify;">**Insert random side note: &nbsp;Have you ever wondered why we use soap? &nbsp;On Monday after my bike in the am - I showered <i>with soap&nbsp;</i>and after my swim in the pm - I showered <i>again</i>.....and I'm not going to lie, I didn't use soap. &nbsp;I figured I was clean enough from my previous shower, just needed to wash that chlorine off....so I did!
